Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of CAS 68512-53-8 for male and female rats is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity testing of CAS 68512 -53 -8 in the rat yielded a median lethal dose (LD50) above 2000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals.

After administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight neither deaths nor symptoms of systemic toxicity occured.

Up to three days after decontamination three male and two female animals showed slight up to moderate erythema. Later on these animals showed scabbrd skin and skin surface with fine scales. 8 days after decontamination all signs of irritation had disappeared.

One female animal showed a loss in body weight in week one but it returned to normal at the end of the study. In the second week another female animal showed a slight loss in body weight. Development of body weight was not impaired in other animals.

All animals were killed at the end of the observation period. they showed no macroscopically visible changes.
